Motivation:The topics of this summer school fit very well into the context of my research area: Optimization in Large Scale Railway Networks.

Being a first year doctoral student, I\'m looking forward to extend my current knowledge of optimization techniques. I have a background in combinatorial optimization / OR, but certain topics such as nonlinear optimization and semidefinite programming are new to me. 

I hope that by attending this school I will have some new tools and ideas to tackle (at least some of) the challenges in railway optimization.

Motivation:During my MSc education at Istanbul Technical University has not only given me a certain set of skills but has also helped me understand my fields of interest and my academic strengths and weaknesses. This understanding has made me realize that though management appeal to me, my strengths lie in stochastic optimization. In particular, I am interested in the mathematics of operations research, revenue management and stochastic dynamic programming. 
I\'d like to attend this event to learn new areas of optimization. I am a PhD Candidate and a research student in a National Project funded by Turkish Scientific & Technological Research Council. This workshop and summer school will help me to understand my way on both of these.

Motivation:I am a PhD student at NTNU, working with production planning optimization for oil and gas fields. I have a Master Degree is in Industrial Economics, with specialization in Operations Research. Production planning problems for oil and gas fields contains strong nonlinear components, and fall into the category of mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problems. Decomposing of optimization problems is one of my strong interest fields. I have mainly been using Lagrangian and Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition, but have also been looking for alternative methods, which I have applied to these problems.

The production planning problems consists of nonlinear well models. It also consists of pressure drop models for multiphase flow in pipe sections which is highly nonlinear and non continuous. I have mostly been working with solution methods based on Simplex and Branch & Bound, where the nonlinearities have been piecewise linearized, although lately I have been looking for alternative formulations. In seek of formulation, solution methods and algorithms for these problems; my hope is that this workshop will be helpful. 

It will be very interesting to meet students and researchers from ETHZ, and learn what work the Institute for Operations Research do. Hopefully, this will lead to future fruit full visits. I am really looking forward to visit you this summer and hope that you will accept my application.

Motivation:As a researcher at France Telecom R&D, I\'m working with Alexandre Laugier (who is also attempting this workshop) on network optimization problems. In the framework of a contract between France Telecom and the University of Magdeburg, we are working with the group of Professor Robert Weismantel on applications of polyhedral and algebraic methods to network optimization (and particularly on integer programming). My motivation in attending this workshop is therefore to learn recents methods that may be usefull in our research context and to meet researchers in the domain. I should mention, that although I\'m a research Engineer in telecom, I obtained a phD in mathematics (On equivariant dynamical systems)  from the university on Nice  and I had the opportunity to work on topics like Gröbner basis during postdoctoral periods (see for example \"Gröbner bases, invariant theory and equivariant dynamics\", K. Gatermann & F. Guyard, http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/6712.html).

Motivation:I am a first-year graduate student at Princeton University. My interest is in algorithms and complexity theory. Problems in optimization come up naturally and frequently in my current research. This is especially true for semidefinite and convex programming techniques. I wish to attend this workshop with two goals in mind. One is to improve my technical understanding of current mathematical methods in optimization. Many of these techniques have been developed in areas other than theoretical computer science. The more it is exciting that the workshop offers talks and tutorials by researches with a diverse background. My second goal is to find applications of those techniques to problems within theoretical computer science.

I hope to be able to contribute to the workshop with my active participation, bringing ideas from my area of expertise \"cutting and packing\". On the other hand I am eagerly looking for new impressions to other areas of Combinatorial Optimization - as I am still at the beginning of my scientific career. The form of the workshop, including several Exercise Sessions, is very appealing to me.

Attending the workshop in Ascona would be a great opportunity for me to meet Lassere in person and to continue my work with Jan.

Appart from this specific topic in SDP, the workshop matches my general interest in optimization and my current focus on nature-inspired computation.

Motivation:I first heard of the workshop from Prof. Dr. Friedrich Eisenbrand, one of the speakers, who encouraged me to participate. I\'m quite interested in the topic of optimization (in fact, I\'m currently writing my bachelor thesis in computer science about an optimization problem). Having heard some lectures about recent paradigms in optimization, one of them given by Prof. Eisenbrand himself, and having worked in this area this semester, I\'m quite eager to attend the workshop which - as I hope - will provide an in-depth insight into the current research topics in optimization.

My research focuses on Optimization, especially Geometric Optimization and Combinatorial Optimization but also Methods for solving linear programs. I have worked on this for my Masters thesis where I published a paper on Integer Programming with Friedrich Eisenbrand and I have continued to work in the field of Optimization for my PhD for the last three years with a stronger focus on geometric problems and linear programs.

In attending the workshop I hope to get a deeper view into the complexity/running time of linear programming and a more diverse view on solving convex optimization problems.

Motivation:I am Phd student in Cybernetics Department NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology). The topic of my dissertation is about production optimization in the area of petroleum engineering. This work is collaboration between Cybernetics and Petroleum industries.

The core in petroleum engineering is how to maximize production of oil and gas with the constraint of reservoir conditions, recovery factor, and surface and subsurface production facilities.

I am very interesting to joint this workshop to obtain new knowledge about method and algorithm, that can be applied for solving the optimization problem in my dissertation. I have been working in optimization problems since 2005, as I mention on the list of my publications.

I was graduated as Bachelor and Master degrees in the Mathematical Department - Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia. My Master Thesis was about Optimization of Gas Injection in Dual Gas Lift Wells (the link is included), therefore I am quite in touch with the optimization problems and methods.

Motivation:I have started my PhD in the group of Prof Manfred Morari last fall. Since then it has turned out, that my PhD will be related to optimization and control theory (Especially, I (will) deal with parametric optimization.).

From the outline and the presentation of this workshop before Christmas, I realized,that this event will be a unique possibility for me, to organize and extend my knowledge about optimization in a short time.

Motivation:I am interested is the design of better approximate
algorithms using advanced optimization techniques,
especially semidefinite programming. Among the problems I
recently worked on are Unique Games, Random 3SAT, and
Compressed Sensing.

The workshop in Ascona is a great opportunity to learn about
important new developments in optimization. Also, some
tutorials of the workshop are directly relevant for my
current research.

One of the fascinating aspects of optimization is that it
plays a fundamental role in many diverse disciplines such as
Mathematics, Computer Science, and Operations Research. The
workshop provides a unique platform to meet researchers from
other disciplines working in optimization. Conferences
typically address only researchers from one discipline. I am
confident that some of these new contacts will develop into
fruitful collaborations.

Motivation:As a master student this is a great opportunity to get in contact with the \"research community\", i.e. learn about the different research directions in optimization directly from the researchers themselves.
This event will enable me to get a good overview over the field, especially about the topics that are not taught here at ETH.
Because i am planing to do a phd in the near future it will also give me the chance to get in touch with people and topics that might even be interesting for possible future research.
